[there's a bit of a pause]

My grand-niece triggered an Echo of mine, some months back. One moment we were enjoying a meal, the next thing I remember I was in the local clinic. I wasn't hurt, physically, but the sheer impact of the memory was horrific to me. I still don't like remembering it.

But I think that it was better that it happened with someone who could help me, as opposed to when I was alone- or worse.


No, there's no easy way to prepare, much less a known way. But...I have the feeling that more such will come, for me at least, sooner or later. Whosoever memories these are...they were clearly a soldier of some sort, and clearly went through quite a bit that I have no great urge to revisit.

its pretty much opeless tehn right? no matter what i do shes's gonna get hurt? somthing bad is gonna happen to her.

[wastingtime]

What, exactly, is this something bad if I may be so bold to ask? Physical injury can be recovered from.

[gunhearted]

something that doesnt get better. something you ant gro back.

[...]

I can guess.

[echoing back dying. that...couldn't be fun.]

[gunhearted]

i wouldnt want her to ajhve to live with something lke that.

shes nice and she seems really happy.

i want her to stay that way.

[what do you say to that? how do you prepare someone for death or worse? even at his old age, it's not something he knows the answer to.]

I wish I had better advice for you, but this does seem to be a rather difficult situation.

[gunhearted]

[It's really balls to know that someone's gonna end up one-eyed and scarred.]

i don'twant her to be alone and i dont want to hurt hur

theres no way to do this right
